When we learn to talk about and plan for grief, something amazing happens. We live more fully and we suffer less at the end of our life. Our loved ones and workplaces suffer less and are able to move through their grief.

Yvonne Heath is a wife, mother to three amazing children and a nurse since 1988. She has worked in ten different hospitals, in most departments from obstetrics to chemotherapy and hospice.

As a registered nurse, she witnessed our grief phobic society, and how our reluctance to talk about, plan and prepare for grief, death and dying causes excessive suffering personally, professionally in life, and at the end of life.

Yvonne realized that she was suffering too. It’s time for a change. She is helping to create this culture of change through her book, Love Your Life to Death, speaking, workshops, social media, radio, television and most recently my I Just Showed Up Campaign.
